Fault Hanging Wall Moves Downward

So there you have it.

Fault hanging wall moves downward.

The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves upward caused by compression. In dip slip faults if the hanging wall block moves downward relative to the footwall read more. An upthrown block between two normal faults dipping away from each other is a horst.

In a reverse fault the hanging wall moves down and the footwall moves up. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension. Low angle normal faults with regional tectonic significance may be designated detachment faults. In a strike slip fault they slide past each other the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has.

What kind of force would create the fault in figure 1. But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up. Occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall reverse fault. In a reverse fault the hanging wall moves up and the footwall moves down.

A dip slip fault in which the upper block above the fault plane moves up and over the. In a strike slip fault they slide past each other the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has. Which fault will see the hanging wall move down relative to the footwall. Special type of reverse fault that is nearly horizontal angle has less than 45 degrees.

Formed by compressional stress rocks are pushed towards each other thrust fault. Compression faults combine elements of strike slip and dip slip motions. The hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall. Strike slip faults are right lateral or left lateral depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left.

In a reverse fault the hanging wall does not move while the footwall moves down. A downthrown block between two normal faults dipping towards each other is a graben. But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up. A normal fault is when the hanging wall moves downward caused by tension.

What kind of fault is visible in figure 1. In a reverse fault the footwall does not move while the hanging wall moves down. To the dip is called dip slip faulting.
